The rescheduled Railway 200 commemorations take place as part of our Heritage Open Days week and we can't wait to welcome you!
Look out for:
Changing Tracks: The History of Poynton's Stations
Civic Hall Council Chamber, 10:30am - 3:30pm (available also on Fri 13th September)
Learn about Poynton’s three stations - Midway, Poynton and Higher Poynton, take a close look at scale models of each one, read Glyn Derbyshire's (former Poynton Stationmaster) own accounts of station life and browse countless photos and facts about the Town’s railway history.
Pop-Up Platform
Higher Poynton Platform (opposite Nelson Pit car park)
1pm - 3pm
Step back in time with us to when Higher Poynton was an active station in this free pop-up event. Meet the friendly Stationmaster who has stepped right out of the year 1930. Ask him about his duties at Higher Poynton, the running of the station, and more! Learn about why the Middlewood Way came to be and Higher Poynton as a working station. Get up close to one of Brookside Miniature Railway’s engines or buy a flag and kids can have a go at a train themed craft!
